Join the adventure

6,000 young people aged 6 to 25 enjoy the Scouting adventure every week across Cambridgeshire through Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network.

It takes over 1,200 adult volunteers to make this happen as Scout Leaders, Assistants, Helpers, Managers and Administrators, all playing a major part in delivering an amazing adventure week in, week out.

Following on from its successful ‘Birds Go Wild’ day, Kids Country will be running a ‘Wildlife and the Countryside’ event on 21st March 2015 for all Cubs and Scouts in the region. This fun outdoor event will run from 10am – 12.30pm, and give all attendees the chance to get their hands dirty, learning skills such as den building and making bug hotels.

The Adventure Programme Team at Gilwell are aware that those Leaders who need to renew Level 3 of their Water Safety Management qualifications have been having issues finding training.

Having been in touch with the RLSS, the programme team are going to help them organise some courses so that our members can access them, but they need us to provide them with numbers and locations.

If anyone in the County needs this training can you please let Tony Best know (with names and numbers) by Friday 20th February so that he can forward the information to the Activities office, who will then work with the RLSS to organise the training and let participants know when they can register. We appreciate that this is a very tight deadline but we know there are a number of people quite eager to get on these courses.

We are pleased to announce that Neil Webb has accepted the role of ACC (Cub Scouts). Neil is continuing with role of a CSL at 17th Nene (The Hamptons), Peterborough.

As ACC (Cub Scouts), Neil is part of the County Development Team and his role is to support District Commissioners and ADCs ( Cub Scouts) in the growth and development of Cub Scouting across the County.

One of Neil's priorities is to arrange a meeting of ADCs (Cubs), so he will in touch shortly. Meanwhile he can be contacted here.

Places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment, booking confirmation will be sent once payment has been received. The event is open to invested members from Cambridgeshire Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs – uniform or Colony/Pack T shirts required.
